Can Canva Post to Instagram Story?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 12:18 pm

As of September 2019, Canva does not have the ability to post directly to Instagram Stories. However, you can save your design as a PNG file and upload it to Instagram Stories that way.

Canva is a great way to make creative and professional designs for your Instagram Stories, even if you can’t post them directly to the platform.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great way to create beautiful graphics for your Instagram stories, but be warned – if you try to post directly to Instagram from Canva, it will not work! You’ll need to download the image and then upload it to Instagram manually.

There are a few easy steps to take in order to save your Canva design as a PNG file and upload it to Instagram Stories. First, open the design you want to share in Canva and click the “share” button in the top right-hand corner. A pop-up window will appear with several options for sharing your design; click “Download.” Another pop-up window will appear asking you whether you want to download your design as a JPEG or PNG file; select “PNG.”

Once the file has downloaded, head over to your Instagram app and go to your story camera. From there, select the “photo” icon in the bottom left-hand corner and choose the PNG file from your device’s photo gallery. Add any text or effects that you want and then share your story!

While Canva doesn’t have the ability to post directly to Instagram Stories, you can easily work around that by downloading your design as a PNG file and uploading it yourself. With Canva, you can create stunning designs for your Instagram stories that will make them look professional and eye-catching.

So even though you can’t post directly from Canva to Instagram, it’s still a great tool for creating beautiful story content.
